incline bumbell shrugs

seated CABLE rows pulling higher than normal or cable pulldowns (face pulls) will help a lot

...seated power cleans, or rig up a chest supported row with DB's and the end of your bench elevated.

seated power cleans???

seems like the only part of the trap that would activate would be the very top portions due to the lack of load at the bottom position....??

Dunno - can't picture it.

Yates 80 degree overhand rows with back squeeze?

Man...so much to think about...

Cornholio...seated power cleans aren't like doing them with a barbell. They are done with a dbell and mainly for rotators...kinda like the shoulder horn type of deal..

truth...I'm far from an expert but I would train maximal weights for strength but just adjust my rep range and tempo to where each working set would last ~60 seconds. That way you can get the best of both worlds...

Hey bfold how many events are there?

Here's an idea:

For the last 2-4 weeks train ME for each event each day.

If there are more than 5-6 events do one in the am and one in the pm.

I think you could afford to overtrain for a few weeks. Then take a nice long week off right before the event.

Of course the drawback would be that your body doesn't get used to doing all the events on one day (is it even a one day event?)

Yeah, I will do 5 events in 4 hours or less. Sounds fun...

I will probably slightly overtrain the weeks prior but will take the week before completely off to recover and become a mad man..
